Anyone else? Can barely navigate, feels like browsing with a 56k modem. I’m in the US Northeast.
Probably my fault - and other folks like me. Yall are having a pretty large influx of new users, so hopefully it’ll even out soon. I see a lot of loading errors too, but since I blame me, I’m dealing well with it.
I definitely understand it would be irritating for long-time users though. Sorry!
Maybe the longtime users, but anyone who’s joined in the last month has been waiting for this mass migration to liven up the place. I think we’d all trade some temporary slowness for a bulk of new users, I saw a post earlier saying lemmy.world has grown 40% in the first 12 hours after reddit killed third-party apps.
Hell, I was on kbin.social when the blackout started, and that site went pretty much unusable.
Yeah. Taking a while to reply. It is 14:30 in UK so load can be pretty testy on a weekend. Especially with many refugees. Probably a good load test, but uncomfortable for users.
Given the current time, I expect the load is increasing due to the rest of the US waking up and getting online. The fixes and optimisations have been rolling out at an incredible pace but ultimately the software has never had to support these kinds of numbers so we’re all just guinea pigs in a big experiment and need to be patient with some ups and downs.
Was working fine until America woke up.
Server strain gives me confidence in the future
